It might be worth dropping the KDE4 KFormula. I would suggest either: *) Go with QtMMlWidget. It works. It's read only, but it's still useful and if we can pry open the API a bit we could get it working in KOffice. Adding editing can be then done on top, building on an already supported base. *) Redo the port of KDE 3's KFormula, removing the fairly minimal KOffice specific code. I estimate the second option to be a solid two week's work for an experienced KDE developer. I think the first option is the more stable option and is ready now, even if it's not up to the feature level of KDE 3's KFormula.
